Bengaluru, Oct 23: Six BJP workers on three motorcycles from each of the 27,000 polling booths in southern Karnataka will arrive at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) grounds here, to be present at the launch of the party’s Nava Karnataka Nirmana Parivarthan Yatra on November 2.

Speaking to reporters after participating in the Bhoomi Pooja at the grounds near BIEC from where the yatra is going to be launched, BJP national general secretary in-charge of Karnataka P Muralidhar Rao said that as many as 1.6 lakh workers will arrive on bikes from South Karnataka districts to be present on Day 1 of the yatra. The yatra will be launched by BJP national president Amit Shah.

When it was pointed out that the BJP’s bike rally to Mangaluru seeking the resignation of minister B Ramanath Rai had failed as the Congress government imposed ban on arrival of workers on bikes, Rao said, “I do not agree that the bike rally to Mangaluru failed. It was a great success as thousands of workers took out a rally inspite of the ban. I do not think the government will venture to do any sort of mis-adventure now”.

He said the BJP has planned the participation of several leaders including Union ministers at various places as the yatra cross-crosses all the 224 Assembly constituencies. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to launch the second leg of the yatra for North Karnataka districts at Hubballi on November 17.

Rao said the BJP is planning to expose “one scam after another” of the Congress government during the 75-day yatra at regular intervals.

Two MLAs to join BJP

According to BJP sources, Congress MLA from Channapatna in Ramanagaram district C P Yogeeshwara and Kudachi MLA P Rajeev of the BSR Congress will be joining the BJP on November 2 in the presence of Shah.

Yadav arrives

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.
